About roof surveys in SW10
Our report is written in plain English, not jargon. Each defect is described with photographs and a recommendation, and we rank them by urgency where that helps. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. Premium adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report. Each report is emailed to you. We survey clay and concrete tiles, flat roofs and the roof space, and people most frequently book us about torn or sagging underlay and gutters that overflow in heavy rain.
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how many separate roofs there are.
- We start with the property details and any concerns.
- We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
- We look at the roof from every safe viewpoint outside.
- We then look in the loft for damp, staining and the condition of the underlay.
- We email a report with photographs and recommendations.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters across SW10
From Chelsea, South Kensington and Parsons Green to smaller places, people across SW10 use a roof survey to plan ahead. Small faults, caught early, are far easier to deal with.
Our area takes in slate-roofed London terraces, clay-tiled Weald houses, Essex weatherboarding and post-war new towns. SW10 is part of that mix.
World's End: If you let a flat or house near Imperial Wharf station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. If you run a business near Kensington Arcade, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.

Landlords, agents and building managers in SW10 and across Greater London can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

How the survey changes by roof type
Lead flashings and valleys
Most leaks begin at a joint rather than the middle of a slope. That’s why we look at them closely.
Chimney stacks
Our chimney check is a visual inspection of the stack, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. We will tell you if the flue needs a specialist.
Why get it checked now?
Hidden gutters and valleys can fail without warning. An overflow there sends water indoors. We check them before they cause trouble.
Before you book any surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What experience they bring
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Watch for slipped slates after bad weather
- Include dormers, porches and garages when booking
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- File the report with your home documents
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It helps you see whether anything has changed.
After a storm, check the roof from the garden and the street. Slipped slates, lifted ridge tiles or pieces in the garden are signs something has moved. Getting small faults fixed quickly keeps water out.
Common roof problems in SW10
A blocked gutter does more harm than it looks. Once leaves and moss block a gutter, water spills down the brickwork. Valley and parapet gutters can overflow inside the building.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Debris building up in roof valleys
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved
SW10 questions
Do you inspect the roof from on top?
Only when it is safe. Many roofs can be seen well from windows, vantage points and the loft, and Premium includes a drone where applicable.
How do I arrange a roof survey in SW10?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can you look at a roof that is joined to next door?
Yes, we inspect your part of the roof. Next door’s roof is only inspected as far as we can see it. Shared stacks and upstands are looked at from your property.
What does a roof survey include?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, plus the roof space where there is safe access. The report includes photos and recommendations.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
